Media journalists collected reactions to the secret demand of the British government to create a backdor, which would allow access to the cloud storage of iPhone users without their knowledge. The material says that the call of the British authorities outraged public activists who called him an emergency (PE).

The representative of the organization of Big Brother Watch Rebecca Vincent said that the shifting is turned off “will undermine the fundamental rights and civil freedoms of the entire population.” Electronic Frontier Foundation activist Torin Klosovski noted that if Apple obeys the British authorities, then this will make users around the world extremely vulnerable, as he will create a dangerous precedent.

The information water was also responded to the United States. The President of the American Association of Manufacturers of Software and Information, Chris Mor called on the Trump administration and the US Congress “to take a firm position against this alarming event.” According to him, any instrument developed by the authorities for hacking Apple accounts sooner or later is among hackers.

The Electronic Frontier Foundation noted that the UK is time to take steps to ensure “real security”. “The lesson will be repeated until it is learned: there is no backdor who misses only good guys and does not pass the bad,” the organization noted.
